Abstract

A display apparatus and a method for controlling the same are provided. The method for controlling the display apparatus includes establishing connection with a plurality of user terminals, receiving, in response to establishing the connections, shared data from at least one user terminal among the plurality of user terminals, displaying content related to the shared data received from the at least one user terminal in a User Interface (UI), and editing the content according to a user command.

Claims

1. A method for controlling a display apparatus having a display, the method comprising:

establishing connections with a plurality of user terminals;

receiving, in response to establishing the connections, shared data from at least one user terminal among the plurality of user terminals;

displaying content related to the shared data received from the at least one user terminal in a User Interface (UI) on the display of the display apparatus; and

editing the content and displaying the edited content in the UI in response to receiving a user command.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

transmitting the UI including the content to the at least one user terminal, wherein the at least one user terminal displays the UI including the content.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the user interface is a community UI, and the community UI is configured to share the content and provide a community environment.

4. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the community UI comprises a region corresponding to the at least one user terminal, and wherein the displaying comprises displaying the content related to the shared data received from the at least one user terminal and user information corresponding to the at least one user terminal in the region.

5. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the community UI comprises at least one of a Poll UI, a social UI, and a Social Bookmark UI, and wherein the Poll UI is configured to allow a user to share an opinion of the user regarding the content, a Social UI is configured to share a user opinion on a preregistered subject, and a Social Bookmark UI is configured to share information on the preregistered subject.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the user interface is a quick memo execution UI, and the quick memo execution UI is configured to share and edit a quick memo related to the shared data received from the at least one user terminal.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6, wherein the quick memo execution UI comprises an editing tool for editing the quick memo, and wherein the editing comprises editing the quick memo included in the screen of the quick memo execution UI according to an execution command with respect to the editing tool.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the editing tool comprises an arranging tool for arranging the quick memo, and wherein in response to a first execution command with respect to receiving the arranging tool, the editing comprises grouping a plurality of quick memos included in the screen of the quick memo execution UI, and in response to receiving a second execution command, filtering the plurality of quick memos based on an arrangement condition corresponding to the second execution command.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6, wherein the quick memo execution UI comprises regions for respectively displaying a plurality of quick memos, wherein in response to receiving a predetermined first user command, the displaying comprises displaying the plurality of quick memos in the regions included in the screen of the quick memo execution UI, and in response to receiving a predetermined second user command, grouping and displaying the plurality of quick memos displayed in the regions as a quick memo set.

10. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the user interface is a workspace UI including a working tool for editing the content and generating a content according to a user command, wherein in response to receiving a user command while displaying the workspace UI, the displaying further comprises displaying an image content received from outside, and wherein the displaying the image content comprises displaying the working tool in a certain region where the image content is displayed and deleting the working tool from the screen where the image content is displayed or bringing back and displaying the deleted working tool in the screen according to whether a user command with respect to the working tool is received within a predetermined time.

11. A display apparatus comprising:

a communicator configured to receive shared data from at least one user terminal among a plurality of user terminals in communication with the display apparatus;

a display configured to display content related to the received shared data in a User Interface (UI); and

a controller configured to receive a user command and, in response to receiving a user command, control the display to edit the content and display the edited content in the UI.

12. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein the controller is further configure to control the communicator to transmit the UI including the edited content to the at least one user terminal, and wherein the at least one user terminal displays the UI including the content.

13. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein the user interface is a community UI, and the community UI is configured to provide a community environment and display the content.

14. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 13, wherein the community UI comprises a region corresponding to the at least one user terminal, and the controller is further configured to control the display to display the content related to the shared data received from the at least one user terminal and user information corresponding to the at least one user terminal in the region.

15. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 13, wherein the community UI comprises at least one of a Poll UI, a Social UI, and a Social Bookmark UI, and wherein the Poll UI is configured to allow a user to share an opinion of the user regarding the content related to the shared data received from the at least one user terminal, the Social UI is configured to share a user opinion on a preregistered subject, and the Social Bookmark UI is configured to share information on the preregistered subject.

16. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein the user interface is a quick memo execution UI, and the quick memo execution UI is configured to share and edit a quick memo related to the shared data received from the at least one user terminal.

17. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 16, wherein the quick memo execution UI comprises an editing tool for editing the quick memo, and wherein the controller is further configured to edit the quick memo included in the screen of the quick memo execution UI according to an execution command with respect to the editing tool.

18. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 17, wherein the editing tool comprises an arranging tool for arranging the quick memo, and wherein the controller is further configured to group a plurality of quick memos included in the screen of the quick memo execution UI in response to receiving a first execution command with respect to the arranging tool, and is further configured to filter the plurality of quick memos based on an arrangement condition corresponding to a second execution command in response to receiving the second execution command.

19. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 16, wherein the quick memo execution UI comprises regions for respectively displaying the plurality of quick memos, and wherein the controller is further configured to control the display to display the plurality of quick memos in the regions included in the screen of the quick memo execution UI in response to receiving a predetermined first user command and is further configured to group and display the plurality of quick memos displayed in the regions as a quick memo set in response to receiving a predetermined second user command.

20. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein the user interface is a workspace UI including a working tool for editing the content and generating a content according to a user command, and wherein in response to receiving a user command being received while the workspace UI is displayed, the controller is further configured to control the display to display an image content received from outside and the working tool, and wherein the controller is further configured to control the display to delete the working tool from the screen where the image content is displayed or bring back and display the deleted working tool in the screen according to whether a user command with respect to the working tool is received within a predetermined time while the image content is displayed.
